About Taxis in Lausanne 🚕

Lausanne has local operators including Taxi Lausanne SA, Taxi Populaire and Taxi 7/7, plus smaller independents. Vehicles range from standard cars to minivans for groups and luggage.

Bookings are made by phone or company apps; ranks are concentrated at Lausanne CFF station, Place de l'Europe, Ouchy and major hotels. The city has no scheduled commercial airport, so Geneva Airport is the main gateway.
